The Israeli – Rbillionaire Roman Abramovich has become a Portuguese citizen!

Roman Abramovich was granted Portuguese citizenship after proving that he was a descendant of Jews deported from Spain. His paternal grandparents – Nachman Leibowitz and Tatiana Abramovitch were Belarusian Jews with family names of Spanish descent. Indeed, one of the most extraordinary stories – and difficult to prove – but his ambition is great:)
In response, Adv. Itay Mor, president of the Zionist movement “Over the Rainbow Portugal,” told YNET: “Roman Abramovich is another example of a man whose civil status has changed thanks to his Spanish roots, which may have been difficult at first thought to attribute to him. Again and again we witness the geographical spread and nomadic life of the Jewish people around the world, so that even those who do not appear to be eligible, manage to trace the family story and the roots that give rights in the EU – and finally enjoy its Portuguese status again. Congratulations to Roman. “
